Types of roofing materials we offer

Asphalt Shingle

Asphalt is the most popular roofing material in the U.S. It's easy to install and relatively inexpensive. It's also very effective at keeping out moisture. The downside is that an asphalt roof may be more vulnerable to sun or wind damage than some other roofs.

Metal

Many homeowners like metal roofs because they are both lightweight and durable, as well as very wind- and fire-resistant. These roofs are expensive up front but can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. They're effective at keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Slate

Slate is a very sustainable natural materials that can last a long time with minimal maintenance. However, these benefits mean that slate is more expensive up front, your infrequent repairs may cost more, and your warranty options may be more limited. We recommend speaking with one of our All Star roofing experts to learn more.

Clay

Many homeowners like clay roofs because they are excellent at reflecting solar heat in the summer. They're also very resistant to fire, water, and pests. Clay lasts a long time but can be very expensive to install, partly due to its heavy weight. We recommend talking to one of our All Star roofing experts to learn whether clay roofing is a good fit for your home.

Cedar

Many people like cedar or other wood roofs for their timeless look. It's also a very long-lasting and environmentally conscious option. One downside is that wood can require more maintenance than other materials. Also, while it can be treated to resist fire, it's not inherently fire-resistant like some other materials.

Synthetic

Synthetic roofs can be made to look like other materials (like cedar or slate) and last a very long time. Synthetic tiles are lightweight but extremely durable. One thing that may stop homeowners from choosing a synthetic roof is the cost. If this is an option you're interested in, one of our All Star roofing pros can provide a free estimate of what it may cost.

signs you may need a new roof

Age of the Roof

A roof generally lasts between 15 and 30 years. Your roof's lifespan will depend on its material, how well it's been maintained, and the weather in your part of Pennsylvania. If your roof is nearing or within this age range, we suggest calling one of our All Star roofing pros to perform an inspection and tell you whether we recommend a full replacement.

Shingle Edges are Curled

If your shingles are starting to curl or peel, it might be time to think about roof replacement. Some shingle damage is normal, but if there's excessive peeling or large bald spots, it could signal that your roof is at the end of its lifespan. A local Pittsburgh roofing expert can perform an inspection and tell you if the damage is typical for your area or if your roof has simply worn out.

Cracked Shingles

Like curling, cracking is sometimes a normal part of shingle wear and tear. As with curling, the same rule applies: if you notice severe cracking or large patches of missing shingles, it's time to consult a roofing professional.

Saggy or Droopy Spots

Roofs typically sag for one of two reasons: not enough support underneath or too much weight on top. Over time, the internal supports for your roof can sustain damage from water, pests, or humidity or can simply wear out naturally. Wind, rain, and snow can cause external stress, putting even more pressure on your roof's supports. Either of these processes, or both in combination, can lead to a saggy or droopy roof. Often, replacing your roof is the best way to ensure all supports are in the best shape possible.

Moss

Particularly at more rainy times of the year, you might notice mold, mildew, and moss beginning to grow on your roof. Moss is the most visible of the three, but mildew and mold can pose serious health risks if they get inside your home. A roof that has frequent bursts of plant and mold growth may need to be replaced.

Visible Leaks

One obvious sign of roof issues is visible leaking, especially in your attic or near where your walls meet the ceiling. Some leaks might be easily fixable, but an inspection is always a smart idea. This can help identify whether the leak is a sign of a larger problem. Our local experts are trained to identify and repair the source of leaks and are eager to help you keep your home safe and dry.
